#re: implementation

[cream-and-tea]

now that i’m pretty solidly more than halfway through the book i’ve started to think very seriously about what changes i’ll make when editing Lay Me Down and have come to the following two important conclusions:

agnes’s internalized homophobia neeeds to be worse

pallas should make WAY more pretentious literary references than they currently do

If this up coming patch is the final patch ever with zero returns and Larian considering it a closing of the curtain on Baldurs Gate. It better be ACTUALLY fucking awesome and the actual bugs better be fucking fixed.

my least favorite part of the creative process is when I have to take a hammer to the rough draft I'm very attached to in order to reshape it into a final work that's objectively much better. because in the middle of smashing it with a hammer it feels like I'm just making it all Worse, and knowing that's not true doesn't stop the feeling when it currently looks like.... this

Headcanon that Echani are not poisoned by chocolate as most canid species are, but instead are stimulated by it, with effects on their body being much like caffeine. Its mild toxicity results in upset stomachs if ingested in large quantities but induces interesting symptoms, so chocolate is a popular consumable in place of the galactic preference for Caf on Eshan. This results in rather humorous displays come the Festival of Love when the galaxy hands out sweets to their persons of affection, without knowing that to Echani, chocolate symbolizes wanting to make a deal...and bouts of hyperactivity.

Guess who’s sick AGAIN! Four times in four months. This time it’s some kind of stomach bug where I can’t stop puking and can’t keep anything down.

I think I’m going to email my primary care doctor at this point because I don’t think this is normal. I’ve never been sick this many times in a row.

Also putting this last bit under a cut bc it’s absolutely Disgusting but also kind of morbidly fascinating to me (TW: VOMIT):

Every time I threw up last night, I blew my nose after - and chunks of undigested food came out?? Of my NOSE?? I don’t throw up like ever so maybe that’s normal, but that’s never happened to me before. It was horrifying!!

“Other shortcomings [in communicating science] are evident in television science fiction programming. Star Trek, for example, despite its charm and strong international and interspecies perspective, often ignores the most elementary scientific facts. The idea that Mr. Spock could be a cross between a human being and a life-form independently evolved on the planet Vulcan is genetically far less probable than a successful cross of a man and an artichoke… There must be dozens of alien species on various Star Trek TV series and movies. Almost all we spend any time with are minor variants of humans. This is driven by economic necessity, costing only an actor and a latex mask, but it flies in the face of the stochastic nature of the evolutionary process. If there are aliens, almost all of them I think will look devastatingly less human than Klingons and Romulans.”
